i said **** it...im going LT1 power...getting mine for 800 bucks...i can get u one if u want...ill look for some 3.4's in CA

------------------

 

$800 bucks?? not bad....who's your source???maybe they have some 3.4's. i guess i gotta stick with a V6. why, you ask??well:
1)i'm too poor to drive a V8
2)i'm too stupid to drive a V8
3)i'd probably kill myself and several others if i drove a V8.
well, i guess i gotta start lookin around again...grrrr

Eh... Minor details. I was planning on driving down and picking it up anyways. I need to go on a nice road trip.

Why the hell would you want to go to an LT1? Optispark is a PITA!!! I'd just get an L98 block, or an LS1 if you're going to do a V8 swap. Oh, well... It's your car.

Thanks for the heads up about this shipping issue, though.

 

Where are they, and can they non longer ship the engines or any parts?

Aren't there other sources for the 3.4 block? Or was this joint the cheapest?

TA Creations was the only place I could find on the internet that would ship a complete 3.4L engine. I'm sure you can find a junkyard with a V6 4th gen in it somewhere that has the 3.4L...

They're located in Florida, if I'm not mistaken.

 

all the junkyards i've been to have a million thirdgen's and zero forthgen's. plus i really don't want to pull an engine myself. hey Graeme, do you know anybody that works for GM?? guys at dealerships always have connections. this guy at my work hooked up 2 toyota engines for $300

yea..actually someone in my car club works at pontiac... Yup, they were THE only 3.4 source i could find...right when im ready to buy they do this, go figure

------------------

 

But if GM actually sells the block, can't ya get it from them? Or one of those engine replacement places (altho I don't know what you'd do for a core price)?

I've got a 3.4 engine (complete) I'll get rid of...the only thing is that it's wrapped in the mint body of a '95 Camaro convertible.
If you want to come and steal the car, you are more than welcome. Just kidding.

3.4's are junk engines, I think that anyone who wants to swap one in should instead put a 3.1 in...but that's only 'cause I have one for sale...

 

TA creations can't ship west of the Mississippi, so us easterners, well, east of the MI, are safe. I just got na email form them clarifying.

what if you can see the Mississippi from your bedroom, and you're just about 5 minutes on the other side? j.k.

 

What if you paid a shipping service to pick the motor up and bring it to you?
